what do you think of when you hear the name Margaret Thatcher

So what do you think about when you hear someone mention Margaret Thatcher, what's the first thought that comes to your mind?

Her monetarist policies were about as bad as Reaganomics.

I think of the Thatcher Effect...

Where's the "ugh" option?

Awfall privitisation schemes of transport etc

General awful fiscal policy

Falklands War (The only just war Britians fought since WW2)

Poll tax riots.

Stood up to the IRA and let the scumbag Bobby Sands die which I give her full props for considering the ballbag was in prison for a bomb only 150m away from my house.

I think of the Iron Lady, the woman who didn't back down to Argentenian aggression on the Falkland Islands (even though to some degree i sympathize to the history of land taken away from Argentina). She did what any reasonable leader of a country does, does not simply sit idley by as part of her territory was taken away from her.

I know her also as the woman who thumbed her nose at Communist USSR, visited the people in Poland who were working towards independence of that country. She broke the backs of the unions in the country (for both good and ill effects).

and i know by the end, her colleagues and allies turned abandoned her when it came time to dump her because she became unpopular.

Apart from that i do not know. I do applaud her for her reaction to the Falkland Island takeover, and her work against Communism.

But domestically i don't have a good fix on how British citizens view her.

A reason why British Industry is a shell of its former self and why we probably have even more problems now and another bunch of conservative t*ts in parliament who are inevitably going to cut and shake even more affecting my generation more than ever.

Its hard enough to get a job with decent qualifications but the torys always find some weird way to make the UK seem even more unappealing.

Apart from being a perfect embodiment of everything I hate about Anglosaxon conservatism, I always have to think of a comment someone made in the show QI, that "Lady Thatcher" sounds like the name for a shaving device for womens' private parts.

who are the 7 people that voted "worst prime minister in British history, rightwinger"

wtf?

1.Would you rather Labour were in power

2.This guy called Gordon Brown fvcked this country up beyond with excessive spending

3.Of course she's a rightwinger she's conservative

I know little about her, but I hear she was anti-socialism and against unions which sounds fine by me.

An old crabby lady that complains about kids and their britches being to low. xXDrPainXx
